If I use a 3.5 on the Vandoren traditional reeds, should I use a 3.5 on these too?.

No. The traditional reeds are harder than the javas. A 3.5 traditional is equivalent to a 4 java. However, make sure to purchase your feed according to your mouthpiece facing. Different mouthpieces need different reed strengths.

Sonido muy bueno con una vaneoren t35, boquilla jazz/clásico, a medida que van envejeciendo salen mejor los agudos y sobreagudos, y bajos también con poca técnica, recomiendo sel 2 porque 2'5 ya son más duras y más trabajo para sacar sonido, espe o que os sirva el comentario.

Best standby reed available, love Vandoren Javas. Have used them for all styles of play and have never had a bad experience. Pro or not, this is a great reed.

I love the Java cut reeds! They are well cut, and together with my mouthpiece they make my horns sing! Individually wrapped for freshness, and consistency, these Vandoren Java reeds are the best for Tenor Saxophone! I've been using these for years, and their quality is hands down the best for Tenor Sax!
